Attorney General Opinions



 



  Medical acupuncture is not sufficiently distinct from
traditional acupuncture so as to fall outside the scope of the practice of
acupuncture.  Physicians licensed by board of medical examiners cannot practice
medical acupuncture absent licensure by board of acupuncture.  Att. Gen. Op.
